"5 Stars! I tell you right now that this album is going to be in my top 10 of the Year... a delicious undercurrent of Outlaw running through a selection of swing, heartbreak, introspection and damn good fun... "

"Herring is able to seamlessly transition between foot stomping dance hall tunes to barroom ballads... she delivers a sentiment and reference, authentic to her art, attitude and the emotion behind every word she sings."

Your Mistake features sharp songwriting and buoyant melodies throughout. Detailed narratives guide the journey. “I make my home down in San Marcos, where I count my tips at the Triple Crown,” she sings on “Austin (Ain’t Got No) City Limits” against bouncy Western swing. “You best find a quiet seat if you’re down at Cheatham Street watching them pass that mic around.” Amen. Now, pass the tip jar.

I fell for her ice-cold honky-tonk songwriting almost immediately. She sings with such confidence, and nails hard-lived country songwriting like nobody's business. And she gets the culture of Texas dancehalls too. "Your Mistake" could be a barroom classic pretty much anywhere.

Herring twangs, plucks, and warbles like country singers of yore, gun-slingin' her guitar with a clear-headed progressive attitude and the "don't-mess-with-me" swagger of a true outlaw. Her brand of homegrown country pickin' defines America not just for the Red Staters, but for every single one of us.
